Results and discussions
To validate the model, the breakthrough experiments are performed.
Figure 3 compares experimental data received from industrial plant
versus modeling results and fairly good agreement is seen between them.
Accordingly, the model employed here adequately demonstrates dynamic
behavior of adsorption bed and validity of the model is confirmed along
with the considered assumptions. So, the results can be used as a useful
tool for optimization of the TSA process in order to obtain highest
performance (purity, recovery or etc).
